In May 2011, an exposé on the ABCTV current affairs program Four Corners revealed a systemic prevalence of culling techniques by certain Indonesian abattoirs, techniques that have been described as "abhorent cruelty". All abattoirs discussed in the program received training and equipment from Meat and Livestock Australia, who carries responsibility for the monitoring of humane culling of exported Australian cattle.
